I was at a second-hand store a long time ago after practice and i found two racquets. One old Tretorn graphite (not the one i've already posted, that was steel) and this. I bought the Tretorn first, and after i made some research on the Rossi i found out that the white one was quite rare. So i ran back to the shop, shelled out the equivalent of 4 dollars and here it is. However, it's not in great condition. I think there are two cracks at the yoke, however i hope that they're just in the paint(see pic and decide for yourself)

Also, it's been worn down to the graphite at 12 o'clock by the looks of it

hard to say if the crack is in the frame or paint, but it looks like it's been strung incorrectly. my f200 only has 17 crosses. i count 20 on yours. there's 2 extra crosses at the top and 1 extra at the throat.

I'm almost certain this was a release for the Asian market, (or for women players). It's considerably lighter than the original F200 and plays quite a bit differently. There's another white version as well - without the inverted "yoke" above the handle. They both feel a lot closer to the 230 to me than they do to the original grey or later green 200's.

I found a picture and mine has indeed been strung incorrectly. However I don't dare having it strung up correctly. Meybe I should just cut the strings out and leave it alone for collection purposes?

Still though, any Rossi is a good Rossi!

I don't know about that. I knew a person from S.A. who was a very good player who went to France and came back with 4 of those white F200 with the inverted yoke in LM weight.

Wonder how many diff f200 carbon models there are ?
I was just looking thru some rackets today and found a new, never strung blue f200 carbon model Really a good looker, will try to get a pic for this thread ...

Starting in 1989 there was a Blue, Red, and I think one or two other colors.....

Could well be VS. I only have my own experience to go on. I have 4 of these white ones as well, from different countries, and they all play and feel a lot lighter than the original, but 4 is hardly a representative sample.
